Me, pellegrina ed orfana, Leonora's aria from La Forza del Destino

Io non amarlo? 
Tu ben sai s'io l'ami . . . 
Patria, famiglia, padre per lui non abbandono? 
Ahi, troppo, troppo sventurata sono!


Me, pellegrina ed orfana, 
Lungi dal patrio nido. 
Un fato inesorabile 
Sospinge a stranio lido; 
Colmo di triste immagini, 
Da' suoi rimorsi affranto. 
È il cor di questa misera 
Dannato a eterno pianto, ecc. 
Ti lascio, ahimè, con lacrime, 
Dolce mia terra, addio; 
Ahimè, non avrà termine 
Per mi sì gran dolore! 
Addio.
